Grant for Technology Opportunities Program

The Grant for Technology Opportunities Program (GTOPs) is a grant administered by the Digital Inclusion Program directed at improving the community's ability to fully participate in the digital society. GTOPs offers individual grants of $10,000 to $25,000.
Grant applications are reviewed and assessed by a panel of qualified community representatives appointed by the Community Technology and Telecommunications Commission, which has final approval over recipient selection. In FY 2017, GTOPs grants were awarded to nine organizations.

New in FY18 is the availability of devices to supplement the financial award. For the FY18 GTOPs cycle, 269 refurbished Dell Optiplex desktops (towers only, no screen or peripherals) are available for request. The units will have 4GB of RAM, a minimum of 160GB of hard drive space, and at least an Intel i3 processor. Windows 10 and Microsoft Office Suite can be pre-installed for $6 per license requested (GTOPs funds cannot be requested to cover the cost of the licenses). Device grants will be between 10 and 30 units per grantee.
